Значение слова MONTGOMERIE в Литературной энциклопедии

ALEXANDER (1545?-1610?).-Poet, probably _b._ in Ayrshire, was in the service of the Regent Morton and James VI., by whom he was pensioned. He is sometimes styled "Captain," and was laureate of the Court. He appears to have fallen on evil days, was imprisoned on the Continent, and lost his pension. His chief work is _The Cherrie and the Slae_ (1597), a somewhat poor allegory of Virtue and Vice, but with some vivid description in it, and with a comparatively modern air. He also wrote _Flyting_ (scolding) _betwixt Montgomerie and Polwart_, _pub._ 1621, and other pieces.
